Fans have expressed concerned following Kim Kardashian-West's latest Instagram snap, with some even questioning if she's has her 'ribs removed'.

The reality star shared a video of her incredibly tiny waist in a corset and explained the clip is from last year.

"Just found this in my phone from my special trip to London last year to meet w Mr. Pearl," she wrote on Instagram.

"I wore a corset like this for the Met Ball for my @manfredthierrymugler Camp look but the corset was misplaced that night 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I want it so badly preserved for my archive that I flew to London to have another made for the archive."

She went on to tease, "We also might have started making a few more looks including my special 40th bday look.

"Can’t wait to show you the LOOKSSSS we’ve been cooking up ✨".

Despite thousands of her followers rushing to compliment the star, lots were left concerned with one person writing, "Surely she had to have a rib removed or somethinggggggg wthhhhh".

Someone else said, "Took out the ribs AND some organs."

Another commented, "Unnatural af. Where are your ribs and guts??"

A fourth wrote, "Ummmm how is she breathing".

One more added, "I appreciate the fashion.. but this body proportion is wrong on so many levels 😔 it's just sad what u portray to women out there".

Keeping Up with the Kardashian fights

Kourtney vs Kim

In March, Kim and Kourtney had a physical fight and to be honest we're not surprised. Tension has been building between the pair for quite some time and Kourt even confessed that she's stepping back from the reality show - before everyone else did.

Remember when Khloe shut the door on Kim when she was trying to get into the apartment and then Kim came out with the famous line, 'don't be f—king rude' before hitting her with her bag? Iconic.

Kim and Kris vs Rob

Throwback to when Kim was dating (and then went on to marry) Kris Humphries. Well, one of the stand-out moments from their relationship was the whole diamond earring incident but during that same holiday, remember when Kim and Kris argued with Rob Kardashian? After the siblings exchanged words, Kris stepped in to defend Kim but nobody was prepared for when Rob called her a 'wh-re'.

So Kylie and Kendall aren't full time cast members but whenever they're on screen they know how to make their mark. While the pair were getting ready at Kylie's house, Kendall wanted to borrow one of her sister's dresses and it's safe to say Ky wasn't having it. Kylie refused to lend her the dress and Kendall went on to call her 'the biggest f—king b-tch' and a 'c—t'. So much dramz.

Kim vs Kourtney

Kim and Kourtney's row over North West and Penelope Disick's Candyland themed party went on for a few days but it reached its peak when they came to blows and almost called it off. While Kourtney was arguing it'll be too much sugar for the kids, Kim pointed out that was the whole theme of the party. Luckily they went ahead with it but the kids ended up being far too hyper… following all that candy.

Scott vs the waiter

Scott has definitely had the best character development throughout the series. Remember the early series when he went wild with his partying? He punched the mirror in Miami and shoved money down the waiters throat? Everyone was embarrassed and of course, the following day he apologised.

This row still makes us cringe whenever we think about it. During dinner Kourtney revealed Penelope scratched her nanny on the face and it resulted in her quitting. Things were getting pretty heated between everyone but it certainly took a turn when Corey said if she was his child he would have given her a 'spanking for sure'. Oh boy...

Kendall vs Caitlyn

It all kicked off when Caitlyn Jenner publicly announced she was going to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that Kendall was walking. Kendall put her foot down and admitted she was 'p-ssed' at her dad for taking the attention and went on to disinvite her. Awks.

Kris vs the rest of the family

This will always be our funniest KUWTK episode. When the Kardashian sisters (and Kim's friend Larsa Pippen) were judging Kris for letting Rob stay in one of her houses, Kris put her foot down. She reminded them that she's supported them throughout all their 'sh-t' including Kim's short marriage –remember her classic, 'I'm married for 72 days, really that was normal? Iconique.

Kim vs Kourtney

Kim is pretty savage during any argument but she went a step too far when she claimed Kourtney was the 'least interesting to look at' after her older sister was being difficult with the schedule for their annual Christmas card.

Kourtney vs Jonathan Cheban

Throwback to Kourtney and Khloe take Miami (an iconic time, tbh). Jonathan should learn not to get involved in family fights. During the early days he defended Kim and ended up rowing with Kourtney. After Kourt told him "you're shoved so far up Kim's ass" and "You're such a f—king loser", he clapped back and said, "Scott's never going to marry you!" Kourt didn't take his jibe lightly and ended up slapping him around the face.

The Kardashians Christmas party is one we would LOVE to go to but in 2018 things got a little awkward when Kendall wanted her dad Caitlyn to attend but Kris wasn't keen. After Kris pointed out that it could be awkward because of all the drama from Caitlyn's book, Kendall made it clear she wanted her dad there.

While the Kardashians were on holiday, things got awkward when Jonathan Cheban told Malika Haaq that he got a bigger room because his best friend Kim is more famous than her best pal Khloe. When they all confronted each other, Kim told Khloe and Malika that she thought they had "an inferiority complex". Riiiight.

When Rob started dating Blac Chyna it was awkward for the entire family but things took a turn when he gave her an iPad… that Kendall gave him for HIS birthday. To top it all off, Kendall found out through Instagram.

Kim Kardashian-West's make-up artist reveals the one product he skips and we're shook

Kimmy K is pretty familiar with waist trainers but last year she took things to another level for her Met Gala 2019 look and confessed she had corset breathing lessons (we didn't even know that was a thing).

On Instagram she explained, "I learned so much about couture from this genius man [fashion designer Thierry Mugler] it was beyond couture, it was art.

"7 months in the making and fittings in Montreal, Paris and LA. Corset breathing lessons from none other than Mr. Pearl. It was worth it all!!! And this was the start of a magical inspiring connection."

Wowzer.

The mum-of-four has since revealed that she's "never felt pain like that in my life" before going on to tell WSJ Magazine, "I’ll have to show you pictures of the aftermath when I took it off — the indentations on my back and my stomach".
